The causes of World War II are naturally a debated subject, but a common view, particularly among the allies in the early post-war years, ties them to the policy of appeasement, which was directed by Britain and France after the First World War and expansionism of Germany and Japan: Germany had lost wealth, power and status following the First World War and the main purpose of the economic, military, and (eventually) territorial expansion was to give Germany a place as a world power again and, in addition, to obtain resource rich land at the expense of Poles and Ukranians. In Germany, there was a strong national desire to escape the bonds of the World War I Treaty of Versailles, and eventually, Hitler and the Nazis assumed control of the country by calling for a heroic mass effort to restore past glory. They led Germany through a chain of events: rearmament, reoccupation of the Rhineland, incorporation of Austria ("Anschluss"), dismemberment and occupation of Czechoslovakia and finally the invasion of Poland. Some academics have gone so far in linking the Treaty of Versailles directly to the conflict as to claim that the European theatres of World War I and II actually constitute a single conflict with a 22-year ceasefire (much as the 1337-1453 Hundred Years War is treated as a single conflict). The London School of Economics has gone so far along its route that its history department now teaches a course entitled "European Civil War 1890 to 1945"[3]. The two conflicts are also described in this way by Duke University's J.M. Roberts. In Asia, Japan's efforts to become a world power and the rise of militarist leadership (in the 1930s, the government in Japan was undermined as militarists rose to power and gained de facto totalitarian control) led to conflicts first with China and later the United States. Japan also sought to secure additional natural resources, such as oil and iron ore, due in part to the lack of natural resources on Japan's own home islands. The League of Nations was powerless and mostly silent in the face of many major events leading to World War II such as Hitler's re-militarisation of the Rhineland, annexation of Austria, and occupation of Czechoslovakia. The League commissioner in Danzig was unable to deal with German claims on the city. This was a significant contributing factor in the outbreak of World War II in 1939.

i think the main reason for world war 2 would have to be that one of the jewish chicks would have hot nasty sex with hitler and so he blamed all the jews for not being ----- like the rest of his posse...but then again that is only one opinion.

The reasons were the Hitler and his aims were too much to handle and he needed to be stopped. Of course, one of the initial reasons was because the Treaty of Versailles had been broken by the Germans; the treaty signed at the end of World War I.

Wel...U know Hitler came to a rise in a Germany.. He became a powerful leader. He made the Mein Kampf which was like his BIBLE. He was a crazy man you know but he was very powerful.. I think he began the war by putting many jews into concentration camps. And then several countries tried to stop it...for example the u.s.. and well that is why i think this was a reason for war. B/c of Germany. Those Darn Germans, they were always on 2 something back then lol :) well have a nice day
